2 is substantially the width of the element 1 when the same isflattened. The element 2 is sewed to the element 1 by longitudinal andtransverse stitching 3 and 4, respectively, so as to keep the element 2in place.

Though I have shown and described a particular construction, combinationand arrangement of parts and portions, I do not wish to be limited tothis particular construction, combination and arrangement, but desire toinclude in the scope of my invention the construction, combination andarrange- With these and other objects in view, as i will appearhereinafter, my invention con-' sists of certain novel features ofconstruction, combination and arrangement of parts and portions, as willbe hereinafter described in detail and particularly set fort-h in theappended claims, reference being had to the accompanying drawings and tothe charactersof reference thereon which form a part of this applicationin which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view'of my new mop cloth in one form, showingparts and portions thereof broken away and in section to facilitate theillustration; and, Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view taken through22 of Fig. 1.

Like characters of reference refer to similar parts and portionsthroughout the views of the drawings. My mop cloth consists essentiallyof two elements, namely, the moisture absorbing element 1 and thestretch preventing element 2.

The moisture absorbing element 1 is a porous fabric preferably ofcoarsely knitted material preferably knitted in long tubular manner withthe ends thereof sewed together, as indicated by 1a, forming a loopedmop cloth which may be supported at its opposite ends by extending aholding element through the loop at the opposite ends. Before the endsof the tubular member 1 are secured together, there is placed within themember 5 or element 1 a strip of strong fabric with the threads runninglongitudinally and transversely. Said longitudinal and transversethreads are of sufficient strength to prevent appreciable stretching Vin either direction.

The width of the stretch preventing element ment substantially as setforth pended claims.

in the ap- Having thus described my invention, what I clalm as new anddesire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A mop cloth comprising a long flattened tubular moisture absorbingmop cloth element, a non-stretching fabric positioned Within and whollyenclosed and concealed within the formerfand stitching extending form,and a non-stretching fabric positioned within the tubular portion of theformer and extending the length and width thereof and secured inposition therein.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand at Los Angeles,California, this 21st day of November, 1929.
